A Welcome From Our Pastor, Fr. Mario Tizziani

Greetings,

Thank you so much for visiting the website of St. Cecilia Roman Catholic Church. St. Cecilia's, a Parish of the Diocese of Covington, KY, is located in Independence, KY. Independence, the county seat of Kenton County, although appearing rural, is actually the largest city in the Commonwealth and is also the fastest growing city as well! Our Parish has a rich history in this community, with many parishioners whose families have been members for generations; as well as a significant number of families who are recent transplants from other communities.
Ours is a Parish where growth in faith and service for Jesus Christ is encouraged and fostered through worship, catechesis, devotion to the Sacraments, and volunteerism in a variety of facets. In accord with our Holy Father, Pope Francis, and the teachings of the Magisterium, we seek to prepare parishioners as witnesses for the Lord wherever they may be. As an outreach of our Parish, St. Cecilia Elementary School provides a quality Catholic education for our children from pre-school through the 8th grade.
Information for participating in our Parish life is provided herein. If you are currently a parishioner of St. Cecilia's, you may enjoy visiting your home site; if by chance you have been away from the Church or are searching for a Parish home, please come and visit! I believe you will find St. Cecilia's to be exactly the church you have been looking for.
On behalf of the wonderful Parishioners of St. Cecilia Roman Catholic Church, I welcome you!

The Lord bless you and keep you,

Fr. Mario Joseph Tizziani
Pastor

CATHOLIC QUOTE OF THE WEEK: “In a world in which the most vulnerable are so often overlooked and disregarded, Christ calls us to embrace and uphold the unconditional dignity of every human life. In doing so, we help to build ‘a new culture of life, the fruit of the culture of truth and love.’” (St Pope John Paul II)

HONOR TILES- ORDER TODAY!

A message from our Pastor, Fr. Mario Tizziani:

As we anxiously await the completion of our new Parish Life Center/School Annex, what a blessing it is for us to be able to have lasting personal and visible Honor Tiles that will be included in the building. These tiles will be a permanent fixture in the Lobby and present for not only this generation but for many generations to come as OUR building is used. God has been so good to us in so many ways! How apt that we include our own tiles as a legacy for those now and to come. As this building is for His glory, these tiles will serve as a reminder of our own personal service for Him during our lifetimes and of those we love. May God bless you as you join with me in having tiles included in our new project!

God, our Father, You made each of us to use our gifts in the Body of Christ. We ask that you inspire those in our Diocese whom you are calling to the priesthood to courageously follow Your will. Send laborers into Your great harvest so that the Gospel is preached, the poor are served with love, the suffering are comforted, and your people are strengthened by the sacraments. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Please personally encourage men to consider a vocation to the priesthood.
